On Unilock's Web Site, there is [Where to Buy], type in your postal code, you should be able to find a location near you. Anyway, unless you do it yourself, otherwise, just let contractor buy them for you. They can get discount, you can't.

But you can try to get estimate from the store if you provide the dimensions of your project. So you will have better idea of the material costs. Also you can get advise from store to have your project done properly.

To give you an idea...The material of path and steps we made for our previous house costed $2500 without discount. The estimate we got from contractor(a good one who explain to me how deep he will dig, how many inches gravel he will put, how many steps will be needed and etc. ) is over $10,000.

    • Nobody knows?
    • 你住哪里?我知道密市附近有一家
    • Permacon & Unilock both have lots of products. You may check their Web Site to find out the dealer nearest you. I have bought Permacon before. The store is in Mississauga, on Royal Winsor, close to Winston Churchill.
      • Thanks. I saw Unilock's catelog and like one of the design and stone/brick. But their office is at Georgetown. And I don't know how to do the paving. Shall I hire contract but buy stone by myself?

          • Wow. In that case, you save a lot if do it by yourself.
            Not only the money save, I also concern about the design. I want to do two colur pattern and different material for the edge. It may cost me more than just simple design. I prefer to do by myself just because I want the look I like. The contract may not like too complex project and will charge furture.
            • We were using different patterns and colors. You can do a bit research on the Internet. Bring pictures and designs with you when you walk to the store asking staffs for their recommendations.
              It is doable but lots of labor work. After this project, I truely don't want to have another one done by ourselves unless we hire some part time labors to do the physical work.
              • That's a good idea. I'll do the reseach to learn how to do it and buy the stones. Then hire a labor about $15 per hour.
                But where can I find a labor? I think most important for the project is the design and I already have one. But I don't want myself phisically do this hard job.
                • I don't know. You may post ads on news paper. BTW, you may need to rent some tools from HD. We have rented two tools, one is used to compact the gravel, one is used to cus the bricks/stone. We also rented a giant garbage bin to collect grass and dirt.
                  • Thanks so much for your info. BTW, how long did you finish the job? a week? Mine is just the front walkway, not very long and wide. And the porch has concrete, just lay stone on top.
                    • Over a month, lack of labors.
                      It's a corner house. The path is from driveway to front porch, continuing to backyard, Over 65 feet long, 3 feet wide. Also we made steps to the road from the front porch. Around the foundation, we made a curve retaining wall to host the rise flower bed.
                      • Would you mind to PM your phone # in case later on I have some techinical question to ask you? Thanks again.
